Richmond Fellowship

Richmond Fellowship

[http://www.richmondfellowship.org.uk Richmond Fellowship] was founded in 1959 by Elly Jansen who bought a house in Richmond, London and invited patients from the local psychiatric hospital to live with her. She ran the house based on the ethos of a therapeutic community which proved very successful in reintegrating people back into the local community despite long periods of time in hospital.

Since then, the charity has grown and now has over 100 projects in UK. Richmond Fellowship works mainly with people experiencing mental health issues, but there are also some specialist services that also cater for people with drug/alcohol/sexual abuse issues.

Richmond Fellowship is primarily funded through government initiatives such as Supporting People and [http://www.csci.org.uk Commission for Social Care Inspectorate] .
